After experimenting with the different color schemes you can create, just hover over any of the colors to find the HEX value. For the website above, you’ll find the hex code simply by hovering over the colors.

<style> body { background-color:#000000; }

Alternatively, if you want to use the RGB values for black in your code instead, you’ll have to put in the values like this:

<style> body { background-color:rgb(0,0,0); }

Pantone (known to define Colors ofthe Year) tells us that in the Fall 2016 we will wear colors that suggests strength, confidence, and complexity. The hues also reflect our desire for tranquility and optimism.
